His difficulties were apparent on a recent Tuesday
when he entered a crowded public library to use the computers to look for a new
job. With no Internet service at home or on his mobile phone, Mr. Hill had few
options to search work listings or file online job applications after losing
his stocking job at a pharmacy five months ago.

Digital divide
DETROIT — In downtown Detroit, start-ups and luxury retailers are opening up and new office buildings are being built as the city works to recover from its deep economic problems. Six miles to the north, in the neighborhood of Hope Village, residents like Eric Hill are trying to participate in that progress but are running into hurdles.

The Beatles dalam Fanfare (1969)
Fanfare (24 October 1969); publisher: Straits Times Press (S) Sdn. Bhd.
Billed as “The Weekly for Swingers”, Fanfare was the leading
English-language entertainment magazine of the 1970s. Printed in colour
on newsprint, this digest had a huge following among the hip teenagers
and young adults of the day. Readers lapped up “chats” with stars,
reports on the local entertainment scene as well as the latest in pop
music and film from Hollywood and Hong Kong. Witty articles and columns
by journalists Siva Choy, Sylvia Toh Paik Choo, Gloria Chandy, Margaret
Cunico and the enigmatically named Kitchi Boy made Fanfare a much-loved
bestseller for many years. The Beatles – Paul McCartney, Julian Lennon,
George Harrison and Ringo Starr – took prime spot on the cover of this
issue.
